Y. JADOT IRRITATED ABOUT THE CANDIDATURE OF C. TAUBIRA
“With these candidatures which could arrive or not, one does not speak about the Frenchmen and the French women”, lambasted Yannick Jadot during a press conference, while Christiane Taubira announced “to consider” his candidacy for the presidential race. “Four months before the presidential elections, we must talk to the French,” he insisted.
“If the Socialist Party next month wants to organize its primary, it’s up to it. (…) I will not go back to a primary with a programmatic base that is not up to our climate ambition and on Europe “, he announced. “Be careful not to divert the attention of the French from our proposals (…), we are moving forward, we are talking to them,” he said. “We are with open arms for the socialists, the progressives, the humanists (…) but today it is the turn of social and republican ecology that it must be done.”
“Those who apply for the presidential election must begin to be a little serious” in the face of this deadline, he added, worrying in particular about “Emmanuel Macron’s zero balance sheet” on the climate. “There is one project that can win, it’s ecology,” he said. “The extreme right threat is there,” he also warned.
“I’m a little fed up with these candidacies which are added on top of each other, we are told that to reduce the number of candidacies we propose others, we still have to do it,” said himself. he irritated. Addressing the other left-wing candidates, “stop pulling the political debate to the bottom, (…) stop orchestrating this obscure, gloomy vision of this election”, “stop the political games”, he said.
